Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Fulham in the Premier League 2 fixture on Friday night.

Ricky Sbragia's side suffered a resounding 5-1 defeat against Aston Villa on Monday night and will need a better showing this evening.

Visitors Fulham are in need of a confidence boost of their own having gone three league matches without a win at this level.

United know victory today could significantly boost their dreams of promotion this season, and although the club are currently 4th in the league, victory tonight could potentially lift them to the top of Division Two.

In terms of tonight's early team news, George Tanner will miss the match through suspension while midfielder Ethan Hamilton is unavailable following confirmation of his loan-move to Rochdale earlier today.
